Completed by the ErmGroup San Giustino the staff of the Serie A3 training also for what concerns the central players. As part of the newly signed collaboration relationship, the young promise Leonardo Ricci, born in 2004 (but not yet 19 years old) and one meter and 98 centimeters tall, has arrived from the Arezzo Volleyball Academy Club. Ricci started playing volleyball at the age of 10 and has always remained so far in his city: Volley Arezzo, then two seasons with Star Volley and then Club Arezzo from Under 14 onwards. His debut in the Serie C championship dates back to 2019, when he was still 15 years old, which he played until a few months ago. Now moving to an A3 team. “An important leap – declared Ricci himself – that I didn’t expect either. I’m living a dream, even if I’ll have to learn a lot from the experienced players I find as teammates.” More effective when attacking or blocking? “Without a doubt in attack: I’m doing well in the early stages and lately I’ve also taken great care of the serve, while I still have to work on the block”. The sports director Valdemaro Gustinelli comments with extreme enthusiasm on the arrival of Leonardo Ricci: “It is an extremely important moment – he highlighted – because Leo’s entry into the roster of the A3 series definitively establishes the collaboration between Club Arezzo Volleyball Academy and Volleyball Ermgroup San Giustino. Clearly, Ricci is with us for his undoubted physical and technical qualities; However, I would like to underline the value of this operation, which will not be the only one between the two partnerships, which continue to work in extreme harmony by developing a technical project whose goodness will reap the benefits in the years to come. We are truly satisfied and excited to live this moment. I personally thank the president Riccardo Lazzarelli, the whole Arezzo Volleyball Academy Club for the willingness shown in granting Leonardo Ricci what will be a great opportunity for him”.
